TreeWalker Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Boy did I just luck out........I've been busting my hump for the past two weeks getting my Archery business and indoor range going in hopes of opening in a week. Well this morning that involved loading up all of my scrap wood and lumber on to a trailer and hauling it out to the burn pile at the dumpground..... Well since my leg injury two years ago, I've been extra careful on not getting hurt or doing stupid things that could get me hurt...........until today.......as I was throwing all of the junk wood off of the trailer, and of course it had to be the last piece, which was a section of old wooden lockers.......I flipped them off end over end, but the wind grabbed them and blew them back my direction....as I tried to catch the top of it to push it back over, an unseen nail (pointed end) drove right into my right wrist, cutting about 3/4 of an inch and driving probably another 3/4-1" under the skin....crossways where the veins and arteries are....... It left a pretty good gaping nhole, but missed anything major......I came home and doctored myself up....showed the kids cause they of course had to see, and then I proceeded to hop online to let you all know how God watched over me today.........I think it scared me more than hurt, although it is throbbing pretty good right now........I'm good on my tetanus shot due to my leg two years ago, LOL....and I cleaned it up good and squirted some Triple Antibiotic on it with a good bandage to go....... God had my back, and I was one lucky individual this morning......now I gotta get back to work, gonna be a little more careful to boot.......Clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
